The Effect: Borrow a coin and have it marked. You say that you are always losing money through a hole in your pocket and then you drop the marked coin into your pocket. "What's weird", you say, "is that the hole isn't in this pocket (the one in which you dropped the coin), but in this one!" You lift up your other foot and the borrowed marked coin is there!
The Method: You need an extra coin. (Well, how did you think it was done?) Most people have a quarter on them, so let's say you want to borrow a quarter. On an "off moment", secretly place the extra quarter under your left foot. (I sometimes adjust my socks and stick it under the shoe.) Have someone loan you a quarter and ask them to mark it in some unusual way with a pen.
Take the quarter and just drop it into your right trouser pocket. Shake your leg as if you are shaking the coin into the hole and down your leg. Then say, "What's weird is that the hole isn't in this pocket (the one in which you dropped the coin), but in this one!" You lift up your other foot and the borrowed coin is there!
Then - and here's where you've gotta have guts - pick up the coin with your right hand and place it (don't drop it!) into the right trouser pocket as you pick up the other coin with the same hand. (Just switch them.) With your hand still in the pocket, look confused and say, "I'm sorry, did you lend me this or was it mine?" He'll tell you it was his and you'll return his coin (the marked one). He'll, of course, inspect the coin for the mark. It's gutsy, but it works.

Coin Bite Trick
Effect: The magician borrows a coin from the spectator and is seen to take a bite out of the coin.
Preparation: Take a quarter and file one side of it down so it looks like someone has bitten a chunk of it off.
Method: Approach a spectator and ask them to borrow a quarter.
You already have the gimmicked quarter in palm position between your thumb and forefinger of your right hand. Take the quarter from the spectator and quietly move your finger and thumb and switch the coins.
Their coin is now slid to the back of your finger.
Pretend to be biting and tearing of a section of what is now your gimmicked coin and eventually tug it free of your mouth to show the spectator who should look amazed.

Card warp
Effect :
A red 5 and a red 6 are shown to a spectator and given to the spectator to place anywhere in a pack of cards.
The magician then takes the pack from the spectator and clasps his hands round the pack with his arms outstretched. He appears to be concentrating very hard, with his attention focused on the cards.
He then removes his hand and shows the pack to the spectator. On turning over the top two cards of the pack, they are the red 5 and 6 .
This trick is extremely convincing and requires good presentation skills
Secret :
Give a 5 of diamonds and a 6 of hearts to the spectator to place in the pack ( do not draw attention to the suits, only that they are a red 5 and 6. )
To prepare for this trick, make sure that the pack has already got the 5 of hearts and the 6 of diamonds on top, face down before handing it to the spectator.
The spectator should not realise that the cards have changed as they are the same colour as the original ones.

Bottoms Up Card Trick
Effect: A pack of cards is fanned out in front of a spectator. The magician runs his fingers around the card fan and the spectator is asked to tell him when to stop his fingers on a card. This card is shown to the audience, replaced in the pack and the pack handed back to the spectator to shuffle. The magician then reveals the card which was chosen.
Method: Ask a spectator to shuffle the cards. When he/she hands them back to you note the bottom card . That is going to be their card.
Start by fanning the cards out. Run your finger across them and ask the spectator when to stop. When he/she says to stop, put your thumb on that point of the deck.
While your thumb is on that point, use your other fingers to slowly work the bottom card under your thumb. As you pull the cards off the top of the deck with your thumb, slide the bottom card under the other cards and pull them off the deck and show the spectator his/ her card. This is where you take over. Since you already know the card you can have the spectator cut, shuffle, e.t.c.
Good routine to try out:
Start flipping the cards from the top of the deck over onto the table. When you flip their card over, continue flipping for another few cards, then say, "I'll bet you that the next card I flip over will be yours!" They'll think you messed up because their card is already flipped over on the table. When they say, "you're on!", reach over and flip their card, which is already face down on the table. They'll be amazed.

Impromptu Card Trick
Effect :
A Card is selected by a spectator and placed back on top of the pack.
The pack of cards is then cut several times and handed back to the magician.
A pile of cards suddenly fall off the pack leaving the magician holding the spectators card.
Method :
When the card is selected the card on the bottom of the pack is crimped by the magicians pinky.
The spectators card is then placed on the top of the pack and the pack is cut.
This now means that the spectators card is underneath the crimped card.
The pack of cards can be passed around the room to be cut several times and the spectators card will always be under the crimped card.
The pack is then handed back to the magician who quietly puts his thumb under the crimped card, appearing to be clumsy and allows the cards above his thumb to fall on the floor. The card under his thumb will be the spectators.
The magician can also allow the rest of the cards to fall leaving only the spectators card in his hand.
This card trick looks amazing because the audience has seen that the magician has not had a lot of contact with the pack and the whole routine has been totally impromptu.

Magic In A Glass Card Trick
The magician takes a long-stemmed glass and announces that he's going to perform a card trick. The thing about this card trick is that he wont be able to touch the cards, because they'll be inside the glass the whole time!
Placing the pack, face out in the glass, the magician states that he's going to find all four aces using special " Locator Cards ". He reaches into the glass and pulls out a red number card ( we'll use the Ten of Hearts for the example ) and puts it in front of the rest of the cards in the deck so that the ten of hearts is the card the spectator now sees looking at them through the glass.
The magician then states that he will let that red 10 find a red ace . Holding the glass by the stem, the magician passes a cloth napkin over the glass, quickly. When the napkin has completed it's quick pass, the red 10 has been replaced by a red ace ! The magician then takes the red ace and puts it in back of the deck and passes the napkin again.
This time, the red 10 is replaced by the other red ace ! Now the magician gets a black number card (say, 6 of spades) for the " Locator " and puts it in front of the red 10. A quick napkin pass, and there's a black ace!
The magician takes the ace and puts it in back of the deck. Another pass, and there's the last black ace! Now pull out the pack and put it back in the case, smiling as you take your bow. All of this magic occurs in the glass, so there's apparently no way that you could've manipulated the cards! People will fall down at your feet and worship your incredible abilities
Method:
A slight amount of preparation work is required, but this is worth it. First, find a wine or any other long-stemmed glass that will allow you to set at least half a deck of cards in it.
There can be no design on the glass or stem!!! Next, take the two red aces and glue them back to back. Make sure you make them look as much like one card as possible!
Do the same with the two black aces. Now get two identical number cards - one black and one red - from an identical deck. Glue one red and one black back to back. Don't do this with the other ones. Finally, get a cloth napkin that is big enough and dark enough to completely cover the glass.
With this prep, you're set!
Set up the deck like this: The black 6 card face up on top of the face-down deck. Now, set the double-sided black ace on top of it. Now place the double-sided " red 10 /black 6" card with the red 10 face-up. Next, comes the double-sided red aces. And finally, the last red 10 FACE DOWN on the face-down deck.
The rest is showmanship. Place the deck in the glass with the bottom card facing your spectator. Announce that you're going to do the trick using a red locator card . Pull the red 10 off the top of the deck and put it on the bottom, facing the spectator. You should now be looking at a red ace . Holding the glass by the stem, you pass the napkin over the glass and spin it around so that the ace is now facing the spectator.
It helps if you hold the glass with you fingers rigid and the stem in the first bend of your finger. When you spin the glass, your thumb does the work and your fingers look pretty much the same. Now take the ace and put it on top of the deck.
You should now be looking at the other red ace . Perform the pass/spin again, and your spectator sees the other red ace . Now say that you need a black locator card. Take the red/black card off the top with the 6 facing. When you get to the black aces, if you stick the Ace of Spades on top so that it's the first ace you'll show, you can ask the spectator to name a black ace. Nine out of ten times, they'll say the Ace of Spades!
You then make it appear for them. If they happen to mention the Ace of Clubs, just say "So that leaves the Ace of Spades," and make it appear.
